Hello 2019 and New Food and Culture Tours to the Caucasus & Turkey

It took me long to write this post. I was away from blogging for so long that, honestly, I didn’t know where to begin. Sorry for being silent without any notice.

Life happened in 2018, including many good things, such as my unique food and culture tours to the Caucasus, my birthplace. A crazy idea born in October of 2017 turned into a solid vision shortly afterwards, and came to fruition in July 2018, when I led my very first Food and Culture Tour to Azerbaijan and Georgia.

Needless to say, I was as ecstatic as I was a bit nervous – it was my first tour after all! It took me months to prepare and coordinate all the details of the trip – I needed to fully concentrate, hence my absence from here.
